That's largely due to fact that the US has been given the responsibility of being the police of the world and the fact that the US government give $40-50 billion away in foreign aid every year and then private citizens give another $25-30 billion. It's easy to sit on a high horse when you're doing things like that.

Like those 40 billions dollars going to Israel, a country that's just passed a law legalizing theft, as long as they're the thief. Will that be policed? How about standing up to the Saudi's massacres in Yemen? A war that's leaving millions starved. Do you know more about the Iraq war than what Bush told you? USA gets to sit on a high horse because it's a superpower, and not because it's morally superior, and as I've already said, in a sense, that's fine. 

I said how someone can feel to have that position. That $40 billion to a heavily marginalized and oppressed country and people in Israel. So, you can easily complain about the US supporting the world, but we still do more for the world than anyone else. There are plenty who want the US to drop foreign aid completely, but then the US is still the bad guy. Lose, lose.
